UK Dwellars -Quorn?

I was watching Modern Marvels recently and they did a show about fungi. They showed various mushrooms and magic mushrooms, penicillin, etc.

Then the mentioned a food product in the UK called Quorn. It is apparantly made from Fusarium venenatum which is a soil mold.

They said it was a very popular meat substitute and it has the consistency of real meat. And....like everything else it tastes like chicken.

Have any of you ever tried this?
